hope the photo will be visible, crown feels flimsy, and another thing i need to mention is that watch feels extremely light. Not sure if that is a good thing though)

It is not big difference in weight from gen,few grams is difference... steel model not so heavie,gold models are much more heavier

As mentioned by Tobel stiff is common. It could be caused by the tension on the stem caused by the jokers at ARF not installing it proper.

If you have the tools or find a watchsmith, just have to reposition the stem to the crown tube, a simple wiggle of the movement (loosen the movement clamps a little) would do the trick, no need to diassemble anything.

Is there any consensus on which manufacturer has produced a quality 126334 41mm DJ other than ARF?

DJF/RZF seem like great OOTB options, given that the DW is correct...

Before regulation it runs about 8-12 secs faster per day
after regulation runs about 3 secs slower per day

Hard to tell how the brushing is from these pics.

Flimsy often happens with rep crowns, you need to be gentle. And the fact that it's light seems to be a common thing for this rep

Date is ok but crown isnt...one guy here had same issue with crown

I had the same issue and seems to be the same watch I rejected.

So far TD sent me 3 different watches and everyone had an issue.

Well i accepted the first watch they sent me but it was changed it since there was an issue with the DW as the said. Since then disaster started.
The second watch had a misaligned crown as above and the third one had the wrong bracelet and bolder numbers in the DW :).
I must be pretty lucky...
